I'm a happily married, SAHM, & full-time grad student. I have my Bachelor's in Sociology. I'm currently working on my Master's in School Counseling.

My family is my everything!! We enjoy family fun nights (cooking together, movies nights, game nights, hikes, etc.). We LOVE to travel. The experiences of seeing new places are priceless.

We have 2 dogs; Gizmo, pug-boston terrier mix, & Chance, pitbull mix. We also have 2 cats, MT & Shadow.

UPDATE I did take a little over a year off from swap-bot, but I must say I missed it. I'm in need of some happy mail again. Plus doing swaps gives me the needed break from schoolwork. ;)

Another UPDATE As of the first of the year (2018), I have started homeschooling my son.
Let me tell you, LIFE IS CRAZY!!

I enjoy making gift baskets/packages, card making, and I do some button art. I also like to try crafts/DIY projects I find on Pinterest.

My husband has started fusing glass and I like to help him when I can. He makes things like bowls, platters, coasters, necklaces, etc..
